Riga 34:
When the animals who lived up in the heavens saw how beautiful the world was, they begged Kamui to let them go and live on it, and he did. But Kamui also made many other creatures especially for the world. The first people, the Ainu, had bodies of earth, hair of chickweed, and spines made from sticks of willow. Kamui sent [[Aioina]], the divine man, down from heaven to teach the Ainu how to hunt and to cook.

ALl'inizio non esisteva niente, solo il buio era ovunque. Improvvisamente dal buio emerse un sottile disco, giallo da un lato e bianco dall'altro, che appariva sospeso a mezz'aria. All'interno del disco siedeva un piccolo uomo barbuto, il Creatore, "Colui che vive al di sopra". Quando egli guardò nel buio ininito, la luce apparve in alto. Egli guardò in giù e divenne un mare di luce. A est, egli creò le strisce gialle dell'alba. Ad ovest, tinte di diversi colori apparvero ovunque. C'erano anche nubi di diversi colori. Egli creò anche tre altri dei: una piccola ragazza, un Dio Sole e un piccolo ragazzo. <!--Then he created celestial phenomena, the winds, the tarantula, and the earth from the sweat of the four gods mixed together in the Creator's palms, from a small round, brown ball, not much larger than a bean. The world was expanded to its current size by the gods kicking the small brown ball until it expanded. Creator told Wind to go inside the ball and to blow it up. The [[tarantula]], the [[trickster]] character, spun a black cord and, attaching it to the ball, crawled away fast to the east, pulling on the cord with all his strength. Tarantula repeated with a blue cord to the south, a yellow cord to the west, and a white cord to the north. With mighty pulls in each direction, the brown ball stretched to immeasurable size--it became the earth! No hills, mountains, or rivers were visible; only smooth, treeless, brown plains appeared. Then the Creator created the rest of the beings and features of the Earth.
